Support Crowdrender!

Hi James! great to hear from you so soon. you are awesome at PR. Thanks for the update and I am very happy to see this project taking shape and I am excited to see Crowd render progress throughout the rest of the year and the year to come. peace!

Oooo new render manager! I see. Well then carry on sir. Pardon my ignorance.

Looks like CR will become apart of my daily now and definately give support.

@ James. Hi James. I worked out the problem concerning the addon and it was the addons problem. Turns out the version I had did not auto start/enable when blender opens, so when I started my slaves the add on was still turned off on all four nodes. I checked there website and they had an update which auto eables the addon ! so I updated the addon across all machines and the renders work! A simple fix and glad that it was nothing more technical . Just would like to thankyou and congratulate you on your public relations management, you are really ontop of things. Peace !

@James rightio captain!

@James Ok cheers. I am not sure if it is ok to email you the kit as it is only a small zip file 256 kb. for test purposes only? what do you think

Screen shots. OK, I have run some tests to see if I could find out some clues. I did a render using the CR render button with only the Master synced. This was the result Next I rendered the same settings, re connected slaves and synced only the slaves leaving out the Master. Lastly I included all machines . By the way all renders were set to manual.

sorry its not "engine" thats just the sub heading in the render panel, CR is selecting a blank engine. The render engine list has 4 slots, EEVEE-WORKBENCH-CYCLES- "a blank slot". CR is using this blank slot.

ok so i think what is happening is that CR is not choosing cycles for the render engine. There is another option in the render panel called "Engine". It is choosing "engine". How do i get CR to render from cycles

i will post some screen shots soon. excited to get this sorted. Once this is sorted I think i can commit to crowd render and you it for my projects.

Thanks very much! just CR headless. As soon as i can get my toonkit addon to render across my slaves i think i will install a streamlined linux OS on my slaves and run renders headless to maximise cpu output .

Hi ! I am interested to know if the above solutions work for the updates 0.1.7 release?

@James Okie dokie! That will definately help. Cheers matey

Hi James! I havbe sucesfully run the addon!. installed a 64 bit operating systrem and run the c++ visual installer. works like a charm. I coujld not find that the add om is liomited to 64 bit. Is this in the documentation?

Not to worry! I have the add on working and connected on a LAN network. Cheers

I decided to go with 2.79 for now. Can I use the program on a LAN without net? I

ok thanks!

@James ahhhhh okiedokie. I will install x 64

Ok I will try that when I get home from work . i am using 32 bit win 10 , should I install 64but instead?

sorry i post this in the wrong area. Also I changed to ubuntu and skipped the whole windows experience lol so it works now peace!
